News to know

The Associated Press reported today that Miami Heat star LeBron James is making a sitcom with Starz. The show, called “Survivor’s Remorse,” will be about how two people from inner-city Philadelphia become famous and try to cope with all that comes with that. James will be executive producer of the show, and presumably would show up in the series (it would be a waste to not use him as a guest actor!).

Quote of note

"I'm not going to North Korea to discuss freeing Kenneth Bae. I've come out here to see my friend (Kim) -- and I want to talk about basketball.” - Dennis Rodman, talking to Reuters about his trip to North Korea. He previously had said he would bring up jailed U.S. citizen Bae, but his most recent remarks focused on basketball with Kim Jong Un.
